AHA! I like that idea. I have looked at the Char-Lynn units before and have
seen them listed new someplace for about $500. That's more than I paid for
the tractor so I've been looking into alternatives.
I have a power steering cylinder off a Massey Harris combine I thought about
putting on there but I haven't had enough round tuits. The forklift idea is
great; the Char-Lynn method is a lot simpler. I have a power steering pump
already.

Thanks Herb.
